copycats

I just want to say that those copycat shootings probably wouldn't have happened if they didn't appear on the news.

Of course they wouldn't have.

But then what kind of news services would they be if they kept news from the public?

I guess that's just part of the price we pay for freedom of the press. It's not exactly like those privilages come free, you know. We should consider ourselves lucky that the government doesn't control the press and use it for it's own propaganda.

It's a sick world.

They didnt appear on news doesnt mean it didnt really have happened.

You took kracov's face you freak.

I don't believe it's a matter of freedom of press, but rather a matter of ethics. TV Stations should restrict their news; they don't lose audiences for not showing stuff that doesn't happen regularly.

Unfortunately, today's TV only goal is to control what people watch in order to make the most money possible, instead of allowing them to form their opinions freely.

It's funny no one new here yet has chosen my face. A pity.
